Red sandalwood inlaid with gems and flowers inlaid in Ruyi, 51.1cm long
The three round brackets of Ruyi’s head, body, and tail are inlaid with sapphire ornaments, and the peach tree patterns are respectively embossed on the ground. Grooves are also ground on the peach tree pattern and embedded with red and emerald stones such as tourmaline and jadeite to express the different colors of flowers, leaves, and fruits. At the same time, the branches are represented with jade that has become ochre, which is both vivid and vivid and has the effect of a beautiful jade carving. Ruyi is attached with a yellow stripe, with the inscription on one side: “The wooden box (inlaid) is inlaid with a handle of Ruyi, but the box is incomplete (inlaid).”.
